"Kipling, Rudyard (1865-1936)" - English writer and poet, the first English writer to be awarded the Nobel Prize for literature (1907).
I have lived in three places in Malaysia, all beginning with the letter 'K'.
Kuala Lumpur
The first place I lived when I originally wound up on Malaysian shores back in 2002 was Kuala Lumpur (KL). I stayed there for nine months and have loved it ever since.

Kuching
Later I moved to Kuching, which is located in the state of Sarawak on the island of Borneo.
This is where my wife is from and where I've enjoyed seven months of my life.

Kuantan
Finally I've settled in Kuantan. Here are some of the best images of Kuantan:
